Simon Rogan’s Our Farm has teamed up with the Cumbrian-based Fell Brewery to create a range of locally-made craft beers.
Using produce grown on the farm and ingredients foraged from areas surrounding the Lake District village of Cartmel, four brews will be released — one each season.
A Woodruff Stout — with earthy sweet notes from the farm’s woodruff leaves — will debut first. This will be followed by spring, summer, and autumn brews, making use of seasonal ingredients.
Fell is a brewery based in South Cumbria, producing craft beer that is deeply rooted in its surroundings. Founder Tim Bloomer grew up locally and recalls tales of hearing about a “mysterious chef from Southampton” who was moving to Cartmel.
Simon Rogan has since gone on to shape Cartmel into the gastronomical hotspot it is today. Simon’s collaboration with Fell Brewery reflects their mutual appreciation for the bounty and bonds of the local area, exploring its seasonal quirks and celebrating the people that work on its land.
The beer will be available through Home by Simon Rogan and Simon Rogan’s Lake District restaurants, as well as for purchase through Fell bars in Cumbria and its e-retail site.
